Inhabited Silence in Qualitative Research

Putting Poststructural Theory to Work

Beschreibung

Inhabited Silence in Qualitative Research demonstrates, or «puts to work,» poststructural theory in the doing of qualitative research. Using this theoretical approach, the book proposes a data set lacking in the methodological literature, namely silence. It highlights the need for qualitative researchers not to dismiss silence as an omission or an absence of empirical materials, but rather to engage silence as meaningful and purposeful. This is an important book that should be read by researchers, teachers, and students.

Rezensionen

«Lisa A. Mazzei's book is a distinguished contribution to the growing body of 'troubling' research that interrogates deeply held, and often deeply hidden, assumptions about education, identity and the claims of theory. Taking silence as its slippery topic, the book opens up new questions about voice and authenticity, and forces readers to rethink assumptions about the disclosure of self and truth in qualitative research.» (Maggie MacLure, Professor of Education, Education and Social Research Institute, Manchester Metropolitan University)
